The New Ravens Defeated-Anorher
 Housing Time.
 The Meridens visited this city last night and defeated the New Ravens by 8 score of 3 to g. The betting before the game was in favor of New Haven, many bets being made of ten to six. The game throughout was hotly contested and there was much excite ment. The game began promptly at nine o'clock, and when the first half of the game was over both teams were even, each having made goal. During the second half the excitement ran high and the players of both teams were loudly applauded. Both teams played polo for all the game was worth, but New Haven was doomed to defeat, as the Meriden team made two goals in this inning, while the home team scored but one. The summary is as follows:

To Start a Local R... R.u Min,

There is @ movement on foot to have a base ball nine started here and to have it in the Eastern league. President Weber of the Eastern league has been in the city looking up the matter. He went to Meriden yester- day to see if nine couldn't be started there. It is thought that New Haven could now have frst-class ball club and have good chances of being successful, but it must be composed of players good enough to beat the Yale team.

 To the Honorable Court of Common Council
 of the City of New Haven:
 The undersigned, citizens and taxpayers of the city of New Haven, respectfully represent to your honorable body as follows:
 That your memorialists are of the opinion that II the same can be done with a full pro- lection of the commercial interests of the city 1t IS advisable that the city's interest in the New Haven and Derby railroad company be sold
 That your memorialists are also of the opinion that no sale should be made except substantially on the following conditions: First-That the railroad be extended in
 pursuance of the original design of the pro- | jectors of the enterprise that is, toward the | west, to make connection with the railroad | system of the western part of the State. Second-That the proper guarantees be gwen that the operation of the road, after it IS sold, will be as fully in the interest of the city as 1t is at present, and that there shall be at least the same amount and character of l train service as there is to-day. Third-That measures be taken at once to relieve the crossings on Meadow street and across Custom House Square of all switching l and all passenger traffic and that the use of
 the track across those highways be as re- stricted as ca1l be made consistent with the
 maintenance of the independent tide water 1 connection that the road now holds and | which we regard of the highest, value to the city.
 AS in duty bound your nemorialists will ever pray.

for this movement, so unexpected
under such thrilling circumstances. the
General answered: Don't YOU see We

two alternatives left us-to die or sur.

are thrown open, the tanning of tho
wind and tho draught will instantly in
crease with extraordinary rapidity. 1t
must never be forgotten that the most
precious moments are at the com.
mcncement of fire. and not a single
second of time should be lost in tack
ling it. In room a tablecloth can be so
used rs to smother large sheet OF
flame, and cushion ma y serve to beat
it out; a coat or anything similar may
be used with an equally successful re-
suit. The great point is presence OF
mind, calmness in danger, action
guided by reason and thought. In all
large houses buckets of water should
be placed on every landing, little
salt being put into the water. Always
endeavor to attack the bed of fire; If
you cannot extinguish fire, shut
the window. and be sure to
shut the door when making good your
retreat. A wet silk handkerchief tied
over the eyes and nose will make
breathing possible in the midst of much
smoke, and blanket wetted and
wrapped round the body will
enable a person to pass through a
sheet of flame in comparative safety.
Should lady's dress catch fire, let the
wearer at once lie down; rolling may
xt,nguish the fire, but IL not. any
thing wooden preferred. wrapped
tightly round will effect the desired
purpose. A burn becomes less painful
The moment air is excluded from it.
For simple burns, oil or the white OF
rgg can be used. One part of carbolic

be invaluable in most cases, slight or
